The competition, the largest of its kind in Vietnam, will attract more than 160 racers from 80 teams to show off their skills in 600 performances, according to organizers. They will compete in four categories – pick-up trucks, SUVs, advance and open.

This year, the race will feature a night-time adventure challenge while organizers will apply chip timing and scoring system to produce more accurate results.

Nguyen Duc Hoang, head of the organizing board, said it wants to host a safe, transparent, fair and fun race and to make it a festival for those who love cars and sport.

The event aims to select talents to compete in international events and encourage people to take part in social activities, he added.
